The DJO XP Diabetic Aircast Walker System is designed specifically for individuals with foot issues related to their diabetes. The aircast is additionally beneficial to those with conditions such as; neuropathic ulcers, hindfoot/heel protection, stable foot/ankle fracture, soft tissue injury, and even post-operative uses.
The Diabetic Aircast is ideal for those with diabetes due to the optimized rocker sole. This feature relieves pressure throughout the foot. The cast also includes the innovative dual-density insole that helps to eliminate pressure points. The semi-rigid shells and full aircells provide additional support by helping to regulate shear stress on diabetic feet. The Walkers Aircell/shell/rocker design also provides maximum plantar unloading. This is important because it provides both protection and immobilization of the foot. Each cast also includes a hand bulb with a pressure gauge to measure the individual Aircell compression. They have also implemented the cast to provide graduated compression, which is able to reduce edema in diabetic patients.
Lastly, The XP Diabetic Aircast is a great alternative to the total contact casting. The aircast is more desirable due to the easy removal of an aircast that involved less time and money. The device is additionally reusable which will ultimately save you even more money in the long run. DJO has included a removable design in order to allow doctors to also monitor progress without having to reapply the contact cast each time.
